Overview
- A woman reported being deliberately groped during a December 23 Namma Metro ride near the Majestic interchange and said she confronted the man when her station arrived.
- The commuter said she slapped the accused inside the coach and again on the platform, then alerted metro security and recorded a video that later spread widely online.
- Upparpet police registered a Non‑Cognisable Report based on her statement, a step that records the complaint but requires further legal process for an arrest.
- Officers said the man was detained for questioning, warned, and released with his details noted, adding that he appeared intoxicated and had been riding without alighting.
- The woman has alleged police showed undue sympathy; a senior officer denied this and said no FIR was filed after the woman and her parents declined, with the probe and CCTV review ongoing.
